Things have been a little nuts around here the last week or so and I haven’t had much time for blogging but I hope that is going to change very soon. JI had a great thanks giving with my family I haven’t seen them since July so it was really nice to see everyone and I got to snuggle with my Baileigh.

I did manage to get her blanket done about an hour before we left to go home. I didn’t get a picture but my brother is supposed to be sending me oneJ Together my mom and I made way too much food and we all ate too much! It was nice spending time with her. The drive home went well I am finally able to knit in the car without getting car sick. So I got half of a scarf done and I can’t remember where I put it to get a picture of it. I have been pretty busy on the knitting front. I have finished my ISE scarf except for blocking, wrote a new pattern for a cabled hat and knit 2 of them almost have the back of Baileigh’s sweater done. Have one sock finished and started another hat. These are things that I would love to show you all but they are Christmas gifts and the people they are for read my blog so I can’t show just yet JThis was also a very good mail week for me. I got home to find a knitty swap package waiting on me. It contained some very nice Socks That Rock lightweight in Rocktober and Moonlight Revel. Not sure what pattern they are going to be yet. I got my HSS 2 package from my wonderful pal Padma Chang aka Heather the wonderful woman that brings you Craftlit she sent me a great package The socks fit perfectly and I love the yarn! She sent me some Lornas Laces in gold rush and some Tofutsies I have been wanting to try for a while now I can’t wait to knit a pair of socks now!! She also sent me fiber and a drop spindle this is something I have not yet attempted, she made me a Gryffindor book make and a pair of drop spindle earrings! Thank you so much!!!! My final Sp11 package also came this week and she out did herself yet again! My pal was Leah she did a great job of spoiling me! Thank you so much I love everything that you sent me! All the storage boxes are being put to good use!

This time around she sent me some yarns that I have not heard of or tried yet so I am very excited! The yellow is 100% Alpaca from Morning Moon Alpacas, its 205 yards so I have 410 to play with 🙂 The variegated one is The Flock Bransonas hand painted sock yarn called Rowena 440 yards the picture doesn’t do the color justice, navy blue, teal and purple 3 of my favorite colors!
